This Taylor GS Mini-e Prototype – Year of the Snake is a unique opportunity for Taylor collectors and players. As a prototype, it features exclusive artwork on the top—different from the official production model—making it a genuine one-off. The torrefied (baked) Sitka spruce top delivers a mature, open sound straight out of the case, while the layered sapele back and sides add stability and warmth, ideal for travel or stage use.

Taylor’s ES-B electronics provide reliable, natural-sounding amplification plus an onboard tuner for ultimate convenience. With its compact scale, easy-playing mahogany neck, and legendary GS Mini comfort, this guitar is perfect for every player—at home, on the road, or on stage.
